Applying for benefits

Student responsibility

Since the VA pays benefits only for courses that apply toward the student’s degree, it is his/her responsibility to make certain the courses he/she is taking apply toward the declared degree. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the WAU certifying official at (301) 891-4541andverify enrollment with the VA each time he/she registers for, adds, or drops a course in order to be reimbursed appropriately by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Concurrent registration

If a student intends to register at WAU and another college or university simultaneously, he/she must first notify the WAU certifying official.

Notification of student classload to the VA

After the last day to register for classes each term, the certifying official will notify the VA of the classload for which each veteran is registered. A copy of the certification will be sent to the student.
